TICTIONARY For Net Users

Information Technology is changing our lives as nothing had ever done before. English language has become for most, the language of Internet, but it is difficult for many of those cyber surfers who have recently joined in and are not very good at typing. With the lack of time and overflow of information to be transferred especially on those chat programs, it becomes imperative to have an easy way out.

Chatters online have already done a lot in this area with the abbreviated jargon we see around being used by them all. This gives us an idea to spread the practice in an authentic and uniform way. Therefore, sma.suaba.com is introducing a 'TICTIONARY' that contains the items already approved by our panel of experts.

The criteria for a word to enter this 'TICTIONARY' are following.

The word should be very common in everyday use, especially those grammatical words like helping verbs  and articles etc.

•    The abbreviation should be phonetic; it means the sound of it should go in line with the actual pronunciation of the word, for example, 'c u' for 'see you'.

•    When the abbreviation is typed, it should involve the minimum clicks and n the mutual distance of the clicks on the keyboard should also be minimum because many internet users usually use not more than two fingers while typing.

A panel of experts has been formed to judge the entries and see if they are valid and commonsensical, and are in line with the basic structure of English language. The experts are: Dr. Michael Kussmaul (Professor of English) and Mr. Khurram Saeed  (Assistant Professor of Linguistics)

So, here is your chance to make things easier for yourself and for others.

Come up with your observations and suggestions and use this dictionary and help it become a standard.

We will publish the names of the people whose entries are accepted in this ‘TICTIONARY’.
